I drive by the graveyard, 30 seconds without breath
as you gasp in giggles, eyes broad with giddy fear.
My family sat in black six years ago in a small, dark room
holding a ceramic urn. I didn’t feel her there.
Where do spirits go, if not into our breathing bodies?
Go ahead, inhale. Steal them from the wind.
